Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 122: Chu Yang Wakes Up

” Argh!?” Waking up with a massive headache, Chu Yang cautiously looking around himself. The last time he was awake he was still inside of the palace of the Black Rose Sectʼs Sect Master, it seemed like he had ended up passing out under the pressure of the Black Rose Sectʼs Sect Master earlier.

But the question was, why did the room he was currently in look so familiar…?

Looking even closer at his surroundings, Chu Yang quickly discovered that he was back in his own room inside the Flying Sword Sect, but how did he end up here in the first place? Did his master perhaps safe him?

Thinking about it, Chu Yang felt both amazed and shocked, after all, Xuan Hao did not really have much public information out about him in the sect and Chu Yang speculated that he was most likely in the first or second stage of the Nascent Soul Realm… But if he had managed to safe him from the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect, he was most likely stronger than a newly promoted Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

”I see that you are finally awake.” Chu Yang heard the voice of his master and quickly moved his head in the direction of the voice as he came face to face with Xuan Hao standing at the entrance to his room with a slightly worried expression on his face.

Xuan Hao was a bit worried when Chu Yang had not woken up even after they returned to the sect, but this worry was mostly directed at the fact that his disciple might have had some hidden injuries that he had not found.

Other than that, Xuan Hao had felt a great amount of pity towards the fact that his disciple did not manage to see how strong he was when he fought with the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect… On the other hand, he did not manage to defeat him and ended up having to run away in the end, so maybe it was better that his disciple had fainted…

”Thank you for saving me from the Black Rose Sect master! Iʼm sure it mustʼve been difficult…” Chu Yang did not think about these things at all and just felt guilty that he had caused his master to walk into a dangerous situation and even risk his life to safe him.

Thinking about it, Chu Yang realized that he had not really done much for his master other than cause him and the rest of the Flying Sword Sect trouble with the Black Rose Sect.

In the future, I will repay the safety and opportunity that master, and the sect have given to me!

Remembering these words, Chu Yang steeled himself to work even harder at training in the future, his senior sisterʼs botanist training would also be a good place to improve. After all, if he could become a great botanist in the future, he could provide a wide variety of rare spiritual plants and herbs to the sect.

At this moment, Chu Yang remember how his senior sister had stressed how important it was for him to become a botanist and learn how to properly take care of and grow spiritual plants and herbs.

Looks like senior sister was really looking after me all this time!

”No need to be so emotional, it was not that difficult for me. Take a few days to recover, after that I will teach both you and your senior sister.” Seeing his discipleʼs face changing between a myriad of different complicated emotions before finally starting to shed a few tears, Xuan Hao immediately tried to calm him down.𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

”I-its nothing master, I-I was just a bit emotional all of a sudden… By the way, where did senior sister Qing Yi go?” Stopping his tears, Chu Yang blushed embarrassedly as he quickly tried to divert the topic.

How embarrassing! He had actually started crying in front of his master!

”Your senior sister went to the Alchemy Hall for the upcoming Alchemy Competition in half a year that she is going to participate in. Hm… I have something to do, try and use this meditation technique when recovering, it is quite useful for recovering your spirit and calming your mind.” Upon talking about the upcoming Alchemy Competition that Qing Yi was going to join, Xuan Hao narrowed his eyes ever so slightly.

Taking out a small scroll with the words [Calming Breeze] written on it, Xuan Hao handed it over to Chu Yang before turning around and leaving his room.

The Calming Breeze meditation scroll was something he had gotten from one of the elders in charge of the pagoda of enlightenment. Earlier, Xuan Hao had met him on the way back to his pavilion and asked if he knew about something that could help his disciple deal with any mental trauma, that his earlier encounter with the Black Rose Sectʼs Sect Master might have caused him.

Chu Yang did not know why his master suddenly became so weird upon mentioning the upcoming Alchemy Competition that his senior sister Qing Yi was going to participate in.

Picking up the [Calming Breeze] Meditation technique that Xuan Hao had thrown onto his bed before leaving, Chu Yang decided not to think so deeply about his masterʼs earlier behaviour, he was most likely just worried now that his first disciple was going to leave the sect for the first time without him present.

Unfolding the scroll, Chu Yang quickly read through the meditation technique.

The Calming Breeze was a normal mortal meditation technique that could not be used for cultivation and only had the single purpose of calming the mind and spirit of the user.

The effect was not heaven shaking or unprecedented and could be considered relatively average, but even then, it was quite a rare technique. Not because of its usefulness, but due to the fact that meditation techniques purely used for calming the mind and spirit were seen as useless in the cultivation world.

A normal cultivation mantra would normally be able to improve the cultivation of the user while also calming both the mind and spirit at the same time, though less effective than a meditation technique purely focused on calming the spirit and mind.

Chu Yang also wanted to just use the cultivation mantra given by his master to recover his state of mind back to what it was previously but seeing that his master had given him a specific cultivation technique and asked him to use it, Chu Yang as the disciple would follow what his master said.

Sitting down in a mediative position on his bed, Chu Yang closed his eyes as he began to adjust his breathing with the Calming Breeze Meditation technique.

Slowly, Chu Yang felt himself calming down and his previous worry slowly faded away.

Like this, Chu Yang stayed quietly in his room as he meditated according to what was written on the Calming Breeze scroll.
